my front wheel feels really light and just doesnt seem to want to go into corners. ive checked the tyre pressure and theyre all fine. Is there actually a problem with it or is it just me? its really annoying me now because it's been doing it since my last service in december when they changed the brake pads over.

any thoughts + help would be appreciated Thumbs Up

Don't know much about scooters to be honest.

Check the brakes aren't binding since the problem started after having the pads changed. Go for a ride without using the front brake. If the disc gets hot, the brakes are binding

Well, the usual. Wheel bearings, tyre condition (front and back), headstock bearings, rear wheel alignment.
